Step by Step Instructions

TANK SPRAYER: Use of Roundup® Brand tank sprayer is recommended. A plastic, fiberglass, plastic-lined steel or stainless steel sprayer may also be used.

• Remove tamper evident band on bottom of cap.
• For best results, add 6 fl. oz. (12 Tbs.) per gallon of water using the measuring cap provided. For easy to kill weeds such as small newly emerged annual weeds (less than 3 inches), add 3 fl. oz. (6 Tbs.) per gallon of water. Close cap tightly after use.
• Spot treat or spray evenly each gallon of spray solution over 300 sq. ft.

HOSE-END SPRAYER: For large areas consider using a hose-end sprayer.

• For best results, set dial to 6 oz. For easy to kill weeds such as small newly emerged annual weeds (less than 3 inches), set dial to 3 oz.
• Pour concentrate into sprayer jar. DO NOT add water.
• Connect garden hose to the sprayer and turn on water. Spray evenly over treatment area. Start by spraying treatment area farthest from the faucet working backwards.

HOW TO APPLY

• Adjust nozzle to the desired spray setting.
• Spray the weeds or grasses you want to kill until thoroughly wet.
• Spot treat or spray evenly each gallon of spray solution over 300 sq. ft.
• When spot treating weeds around desirable plants, shield plants from drift with a sheet of cardboard or plastic. If desirable plants are sprayed accidentally, rinse off immediately with water.

WHEN AND WHERE TO USE

Where Not to Use

• Do not use on or around edible food or feed crops; or where livestock grazing is allowed.
• IMPORTANT: Do not spray plants or grasses you like - they will die. Not recommended for spot weed control in lawns since this product kills lawn grasses. Do not allow treated weeds to come in contact with desirable plants until spray has dried.

Where to Use

• Around flowers, trees, or shrubs

When to Apply

• Use anytime weeds and grasses or brush are actively growing.
• For best results, apply at the 6 fl. oz. rate during warm, sunny weather above 60°F. Development of visible results could be delayed in cool or cloudy conditions or when using the 3 fl. oz. rate.
• Spray when air is calm to prevent drift to desirable plants.
• RAINPROOF: Rain or watering 30 minutes after application will NOT wash away effectiveness.
• Some established perennial or hard to kill weeds may require a repeat application.
• Brush sprayed in the fall may not be controlled until the following season. In the spring, spray regrowth if it occurs.
